This is what the English 'countryside', as seen from a train, looks like. Because it's green, I guess things look good. But look how empty of wildlife it is. Not a single bird visible. Not one. Massive swathes of our 'countryside' are just devoid of animals.

I've been meaning for years to talk about little-known aspects of the #Okapi 's discovery. There proved so much to say that I had to split things in two, and Part 1 is now live at Tetrapod Zoology: A brief thread on some key points...

At this point I've discussed a lot of palaeontology stuff with Sir David Attenborough. He told me that - while prepping for his role in Jurassic Park - his brother Richard asked him "what are these people _like_?" Sir David had got to know lots of palaeontologists by then...

Ok, this. #Pelicans (shown in 2 of the photos here) practise 'glottis exposure': they invert the pouch and stretch it over the neck and chest. This isn't about overheating but is used to stretch and rearrange tissues of the lower jaw and throat (fig from Schreiber 1977). cont --

Yes I have been developing my own idea for a dinosaur-themed movie project and pushing it in front of my Hollywood buddies. Success is guaranteed!

Yes, it's time another #TetZoocryptomegathread . In previous megathreads, I've covered several #LochNessMonster photos, including Hugh Gray's from 1933, Peter O'Connor's of 1960, and the Shiels 'muppet' of 1977. Time for another one!
